I was offered the pump for around two years prior to me deciding to go on it, I was worried about tubes coming out of me and how would I cope sleeping with it mainly. I had already been carb counting before I went on the pump too.But I decided to go for it, all of my diabetic nurses and consultants are on a pump, so I thought, if they are on it, it must be pretty good. I've been on my Medtronic 640g pump for 8 months now, and it is without a doubt the best thing I've ever done regarding my diabetes. It does take a lot of hard work but you will reap the benefits if you decide to go for it. My hba1c has also dropped and I'm now at 6.4.If you need to know any more, just ask. I'm happy to discuss it <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />Good luck.</blockquote>
